Self-assessment
Operational Readiness Self-Assessment
Twelve diagnostic questions. Two minutes. Results indicate whether you need a full 4-Dimension engagement or a targeted baseline-first diagnostic. Answer honestly — the score tells you where to start.
01Do you have formal documentation for your top 10 core processes — written, version-controlled, accessible to the people who execute them?
02Can you identify your top 3 operational bottlenecks with supporting cycle-time or throughput data — not anecdotal reports?
03Does your leadership team use a consistent decision-making framework with documented escalation paths and clear decision-right ownership?
04Do you track KPIs beyond financials — operational, customer, and employee metrics reported on a consistent cadence?
05Can you calculate all-in unit cost for your top 3 products or services — fully loaded, including overhead allocation?
06Have you reviewed workforce classifications against the DOL 6-factor economic reality test within the last 18 months?
07Does your governance structure include formal reporting cadence, escalation tiers, and committee charters to prevent operational drift?
08When you last restructured a department, did you follow a documented change management methodology with measurable adoption outcomes?
09Have your last two strategic initiatives achieved stated objectives within original timeframes — with data to confirm it?
10Does your executive team follow a structured problem-solving cadence — or do meetings default to status reporting?
11Can you quantify working capital leakage with current DSO, DIO, and DPO numbers — benchmarked quarterly?
12If you acquired or were acquired in the last 3 years, were projected synergies validated against actual post-close operating data?
